Discussion[edit]

The duration here may seem overly long, but what I'd like to do is to only show the banner two days before our kickstarter meetup every month. The meetups are on the first Wednesday of each month, so I'd like to show the banners (at 100 % if possible) only for that Tuesday and Wednesday (ending at 20:00 Norwegian time when the meetup is concluded). Is that possible? Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (talk) 16:48, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jon Harald Søby (WMNO): Sadly not. I could set a local storage item that could be reset once per month, however, this can only be connected to the first display of the banner for each user separately. It cannot be related to a specific date. I fear that we have to change the dates once per month. But that wouldn't be a problem, it will just take few seconds. Can you add the dates when it's supposed to run to the request? And ping me early enough before each display? I can create the campaign and banner.

@DerHexer: Thanks! I think the approach of setting up one campaign per time is best.
If possible, it would be nice to have a banner for the upcoming event on Wednesday June 7. We can just do a simple standard banner for this run at least.
Runtime: Tuesday June 6, 00:00 UTC to Wednesday June 7, 15:30 UTC
